Pyramid from Amera

I’ve
bought some Amera pieces for my
Frostgrave gameboard and this one, F232 Pyramid, is the first one finished.

Amera
produces vacuum-formed white polystyrene terrain pieces and have everything
from fantasy to SF in scales from 1/600 to 1/35.

The
pyramid started out as a plain pyramid but I had other plans for it.

For
Halloween I bought a bag of skulls with the intention of boosting some terrain-pieces
with it and the pyramid was perfect for that.

I cut the skulls into suitable
forms, glued them in place and finally green-stuffed all cracks.

For
the ground around the pyramid I had these OO scale self adhesive stone paving slabs
from Metcalfe and I glued them to
the base with white glue to be sure it held.

Everything
painted in the same style as the rest of my other Frostgrave buildings. To have at
least some colour on the table I had the sides of the pyramids in antique red
and drybrushed them heavily with the base colours to get a really worn look.

My rating system

5 - A masterpiece. You have to read/see/visit.4 - Really good. Strongly recommended it if it is a subject of interest, and probably worth reading/seeing/visiting if not.3 – It’s OK. If it’s a subject you’re interested in, it’s probably worth reading/seeing/visiting. Otherwise you can probably skip it.2 - Well, not really... If it’s your subject you could possibly find something in it worth your while. Otherwise stay clear.1 - Stay clear. This is a waste of your time.
